Read a random definition: add-on interest

A quick definition of method claim:

A method claim is a statement in a patent that describes a new way of doing something. It explains the unique features of an invention and defines the protection that the patent provides. A patent claim can be for a machine, a process, or a composition of matter. The claim must be specific enough to prevent others from making or using the same invention. A dependent claim refers to and further limits another claim, while an independent claim does not refer to any other claim.

A more thorough explanation:

A method claim is a type of patent claim that describes the steps or process used to achieve a useful result. It is a formal statement that defines the scope of protection for the invention. For example, a method claim could describe a new way of manufacturing a product or a new process for treating a medical condition.

One example of a method claim is a patent for a new method of making a type of plastic. The claim would describe the specific steps involved in the manufacturing process, such as the temperature and pressure required to create the plastic. Another example is a patent for a new method of diagnosing a disease, which would describe the specific tests and procedures used to identify the condition.

Method claims are important because they allow inventors to protect their inventions from being copied by others. By defining the specific steps or process used to achieve a useful result, inventors can prevent others from using the same method without permission.
